World Professional Chuckwagon Association Drivers To Compete

Previous Dewberry Chucks. Photos Vermilion Voice

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

The Dewberry Chuckwagon Racing Heritage Society was given the green flag drop by Alberta Health Services (AHS) to hold their chuckwagon races this year as long as they follow all guidelines set by AHS. Currently they are approved to hold the event in a drive-in style, but the Society is hoping it will change by the time the event is held.

“We are hoping by the time racing starts we will be allowed to have fans in the bleachers,” stated David Bensmiller.

The Society is over the moon to announce that they will be hosting at least 22 World Professional Chuckwagon Association drivers to compete in their show from July 1-4 weekend.

“The drivers will compete for a $25,000 Final Heat Dash For Cash! The dash for cash is included within a $50,000 guaranteed weekend payout. Our first 50/50 raffle is closed and we will be starting a new one any day,” exclaimed Bensmiller.

IS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON We Would Like To Thank Our Valued, loyal Customers And New Ones Too.

Grauman, Barbara Meryl (nee West) It is with extreme sadness we wish to advise that Barbara Grauman (nee West) passed away peacefully June 6th, 2021.

Barbara is survived by her sister Darlene.

She was born at Elk Point, Alberta, to Betty and Colin West, who farmed north of Clandonald, Alberta. She attended Louise Lake School in the Landonville District for grades 1 to 8, Vermillion Junior High for grade 9, and Kitscoy High for grades 10 to 12. She went on to become a Comptometer Operator. Shortly after, she married the love of her life, Robert John Grauman from Clandonald, Alberta in 1961. Following marriage, they lived in Scarborough, Ontario for 14 years, then after missing the west, returned to Alberta in 1975.

Barbara had been working for Environment Canada while in Toronto, then transferred to Edmonton, where she eventually moved to the Federal Department of Forestry as a pay clerk, retiring at the end of May 1996.

Over the years she and Robert pursued their love of travel. Many trips were made abroad touring Europe, while others covered the U.S. including Hawaii and Alaska, plus Yukon and NWT. Sadly she lost Robert in 2013.

Barbara took great interest in meeting and talking with people, thus making many, many friends. These people were so very important to her and she to them. As a result, this has left a great void in all of our lives.

Barbara and Robert have had special cats in their lives, with Oliver the last one, who is now with special friends and giving them great pleasure.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Rhubarb Muffins

Dawn Hames Columnist

Calling all rhubarb lovers. Here is a new rhubarb recipe to add to your collection.

These are cake-like muffins with lots of flavourful rhubarb. Rhubarb is one of the first fruits available on the Canadian prairies, and prairie cooks have come up with lots of ways to use it: there are rhubarb pies, rhubarb crisps, rhubarb jam, rhubarb relish, cobblers, cakes, and muffins. While we think of rhubarb as a fruit it is classed as a vegetable.

Rhubarb is mildly laxative. Research shows that it may be beneficial for diabetes as it mimics the action of insulin, allowing the sugar to enter the cell, where it may be burned instead of circulating in the blood.

Rhubarb is not a good frequent food choice for people that are prone to form oxalate kidney stones. Always remember that the leaves of the rhubarb plant are poisonous.

I always like to use the younger thinner rhubarb, as I find them more tender and less sour than the larger stalks.

Rhubarb can be easily frozen for later use by cutting it up into 1-inch pieces, blanching it for 1 minute and then rinsing it in cool water, patting dry, and packaging it in plastic

The Vermilion Voice | June 15, 2021

freezer bags. Rhubarb is also a good source of fiber, vitamin K, and vitamin C. You can choose to fill the muffins tins up to 2/3rds, or to the top, where they will rise above the tins and spread out on top, to give you nice muffin tops.

Rhubarb Muffins 1/2 cup butter 1 cup of sugar (divided) 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup milk 1 tablespoon vinegar (apple cider or white) 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 cups flour

2 1/2 cups rhubarb (finely sliced) Finely chop the rhubarb and stir in 1/2 cup sugar. In a separate bowl cream, the butter and 1/2 cup sugar together with an electric beater, beat in the egg, and vanilla. Measure the tablespoon of vinegar into a 1 cup measure and then fill with milk, stirring half way. Buttermilk can be substituted for the vinegar and milk. Beat the milk into the butter mixture, and then beat in the baking soda and flour. Stir in the sugar-coated rhubarb, and spoon into a buttered or papered muffin tin and bake for 20-25 minutes at 375 degrees or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. This recipe makes slightly more than a dozen.

When A Vermilion Resident Gave A Big Donation

Craig Baird Columnist

T h e Ve r m i l i o n library has been one of the most important places for residents to visit for years.

Through the years, it has helped teach children to read, help students complete book reports, and offer residents an escape to amazing worlds created by authors.

The library has existed through government funding, but also generosity and few times has anyone been more generous to the library than George Whitnell in 1950.

For years, Whitnell was a well-known citizen of Vermilion who had lived in the area for many years during the first years of the community. While he lived in Lake Forest, Illinois in 1950, his love of Vermilion was still strong.

Mayor J.W.G. Morrison was a friend of Whitnell for many years and he had the honour of presenting the current mayor, S.C. Heckbert, with a cheque worth $10,000 from Whitnell for the library. That may not seem like a huge sum these days, but today that amount of money would be $114,065.

Whitnell gave the money to the library

to show them appreciation for the many courtesies they extended him during the pioneer days of the community. For years, the International Order of the Daughters of the Empire handled library services, but it was limited and not suitable for the growing community.

The donation would help to build the new library facilities and provide more material for the reading public.

Under the agreement for the donation, a deed of trust was created so that the money could be put into a trust fund and administered by a committee composed of Mayor Heckbert, as well as A.M. Watt, the

manager of the CIBC. The committee would then get to work with the selection of a site and the construction of the new library that would become an important place for generations of Vermilion residents.

How The New Generation Of Investors Are Taking Down Wallstreet

Braxton Hoare Columnist

Tr ad in g sto c ks has always been a rich man’s game, with institutions being the ones who find the most success. The reality is the game isn’t fair, risk lowers as funds increase because being able to purchase multiple stocks is always safer than investing everything in one.

The rule of having a diversified portfolio is, if one stock goes down the rest of the portfolio will still be making money. However, most retail investors (regular people) don’t have the disposable income needed to diversify. A couple of years ago retail investors only accounted for 10 per cent of all trades that went on in the market, for most people getting involved in stocks seems difficult and expensive. However, during the pandemic, many people were looking for something to occupy their time, with new investment apps being easier to set up and with lower fees than traditional options it was the perfect situation to get more people investing. According to estimates from Robinhood, (a new online brokerage firm) retail investors now account for about 30 per cent of all trades as of 2021.

Brokerages have always had major advantages over retail investors, with massive teams dedicated to researching the market it has almost impos-

sible for a regular person to compete.

Recently a new generation of traders have emerged going online to Twitter and Reddit to discuss stocks. This shift in trading perspective has given Retail investors a chance to balance the investing game a little more. Hundreds of thousands of people are sharing what they’ve learned online, and are learning from each other what stocks have potential. Many of the those sharing online are professional traders sharing their knowledge with each other and the new traders. This coupled with the new trading apps that allow instant stock price updates and trades, are giving the regular people a chance to compete with the brokerages.

One stock was the victim of attention from the retail investors, GameStop.

Early in the year, one man, Keith Gill “Roaring Kitty” realized that the brokerages were shor ting the Gamestop stock (betting money it would go down).

Although shorting is a common practice in trading, in this instance it was shorted an abnormally high amount. To understand why this is important, know that with shorting an investor borrows shares from someone else, sells them and then will have to return them to the person they borrowed from, after a set amount of time. The intention with a trade like this is for the price of the stock to fall, that way when the shorter has to re-buy the shares they owe they have to

pay less, thus making a profit. However, in GameStop’s case, there were way too many people shorting, over 100 per cent of shares were shorted. This is excellent for people like Keith because given enough public attention it could cause a the stock price to rise high enough that shorters would have to buy back their shares pushing the stock price even higher. Not long after Keith posted an article with his findings online, it got a lot of attention. Within a few months, the price of GameStop rose from $5 to about $350, which is about a 7000 per cent increase. This massive jump cost one hedgefund that was shorting GameStop, Melvin Capital about $5 billion dollars, or about a third of its net-worth.

This tactic of finding which stocks the institutions are betting against and buying them has become the staple of the new internet investors. Just this week alone people have managed to push the AMC stock from $10 to around $75, which is also an unordinar y occurr e n c e . Ty p i c a l l y

traditional stocks move only around 1 per cent on a day, not 750 per cent and this is not even the end of it. People on the Reddit page WallStreetBets believe that there are still more stocks to target and that AMC could still run up even higher.

FATHER’S DAY

June 20, 2021

A Gift For Every Type Of Dad If you’re wondering what to get your dad for Father’s Day, it’s a good idea to consider his hobbies and interests.

Here are some suggestions for different kinds of dads.

The Movie Buff If space permits, your dad might appreciate a vintage film projector or studio lamp. Alternatively, consider getting him a movie-themed trivia game, a scratch-off poster or a collectible figurine from his favourite flick.

There are also many great reads about film history and culture.

The Chef One way to impress a dad who loves to cook is by spoiling him with new kitchen accessories. Consider buying him a quality cutting board, Japanese chef knives, barbecue utensils or a new apron. If your dad has a green thumb, another option is to get him potted herbs he can grow outside or in the kitchen.

The Collector If your dad is a stamp enthusiast, he’ll likely appreciate a magnifier to help with identification or a UV lamp to

Father’s Day

assist with observing phosphorescent markings. For the father who collects coins, consider getting him a rare or commemorative piece, a specialized storage album, a magnification loupe or a cleaning bath for his coins.

The Outdoorsman The dad who enjoys spending time in nature is likely to welcome getting a set of hiking poles, an engraved compass, a pair of waterproof binoculars or a wilderness survival handbook.

Alternatively, check to see if some of his camping, hunting or fishing gear

could use an upgrade.

The Music Lover For the dad with a passion for music, buy a water-resistant portable speaker, wireless headphones or a guitar pick maker. Alternatively, get him a musicthemed keepsake such as a wall clock depicting his favourite band, drink coasters that look like CDs or records, or cufflinks shaped like a treble clef or the instrument he plays.

Whether your father has a passion for fishing, monster trucks or comic books, there’s a T-shirt design out there that’s right for him. Choose or create one that lets him show off his interests. If you prefer, you can get the design printed on a sweater, apron or cap. Alternatively, have a photograph printed on one of these items.

A Framed Photograph

Sort through your pictures and find ones to fill a set of frames, a customized scrapbook, a photo cube or a digital frame. Choose shots that capture moments with loved ones, travel memories and other happy times.

This year for Father’s Day, give your dad a gift he’ll treasure. He’s sure to be touched that you took the time to choose something just for him.

BAR B Q BRAND

BEEF RIBS OR STEAK

This year for Father’s Day, celebrate your dad by offering him a meal he’ll savour and enjoy. Here are a few different ways you can spoil him at suppertime.

Five-course dinner. Offer Dad a whole gastronomical experience starting with an amuse-bouche followed by an appetizer.

After, serve up a delicious main course.

Then, set out a cheese plate before ending with his favourite dessert.

Barbecue. If the weather’s nice, take advantage of it by cooking outside on the grill. Choose a dish that suits Dad’s tastes and matches your culinary talents, whether it’s burgers, surf and turf, perfectly seasoned ribs or a variety of skewers.

Catered affair. Opt for a meal you don’t have to cook by hiring a local catering company. This is also a great option if you can’t see your father in person. You can select a supper he likes and have it delivered to his home.

Restaurant. Dining out is a simple way to celebrate the occasion. In addition to their regular fare, many restaurants create special Father’s Day menus. If you prefer to eat at home, order a meal for pickup or delivery.

To serve Dad a meal he’ll remember, there’s no shortage of options. Just be sure to plan ahead so you can be certain he’ll have all his favourites.

Small Plane Crashes Near Heinsburg

Reporter

On the evening of June 6, Vermilion RCMP and the County Rescue services were called to the scene of a plane crash near the Hamlet of Heinsburg. Emergency crews arrived to find that a small single engine Cessna had landed in a slough between Range Roads 45 and 50.

According to the initial investigation media report from the RCMP, the wing of the plane appears to have hit a tree during its descent to a private airstrip, causing difficulties with the landing.

Upon their arrival, emergency personnel found the single occupant of the plane trapped inside, requiring him to be extracted by Vermilion River County Rescue services. A 65 year-old man from Clandonald, AB was treated in hospital, then airlifted to Edmonton by STARS for continued treatment of serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

The Transportation Safety Board will be conducting an investigation into the cause of the crash.

Cornerstone Co-op is recruiting for the following positions in our Vermilion Administration Office:

Collegiate Women’s Hockey Team Hitting The Ice

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

Thanks to the hard work of many people Lakeland College is pleased to announce that their vision of offering a women’s collegiate hockey team is becoming a reality beginning this fall.

The college has hired Morgan Mann as the head coach and the college is preparing to hit the ice. Mann won a CIS national championship with the Acadia Axemen while he attended university and he also played on the Allan Cup-winning senior men’s hockey team in Lloydminster. He has worked in a coaching capcity with the Lloydminster Steelers women’s hockey program, as well as, recently being the head coach of the U18 women’s hockey team for the 2020-2021 season. Mann is also working on his masters in coaching studies while working as a teacher and counsellor in the Lloydminster Public School division.

“I like to use sport as an opportunity to make a young athlete a better person,

Vermilion Ag Society

The exhibit hall at the Vermilion Fair is a great place to discover all the hidden skills, talents, and creativity this community has within it. It’s always amazing to see the new ideas and unique art styles on display each summer. From pottery,

hockey team could become a reality.

“By working together, we believe we will be able to offer a competive studentathlete experience for 18 to 22 female hockey players at Lakeland College,” says Mann, who led the community delegation before being hired as head coach.

Mann also stated that, “Lloydminster has a strong female elite hockey program and that as one of six designated communities to have a U18 AAA program in Alberta, Lakeland is positioned to offer a natural progression for female hockey players in Lloydminster and area hoping to make it to the next level.”

Although they are all committed to work together this does not mean that the team will be accepted into the ACAC Women’s Hockey League.

The release stated that, “as part of the ACAC goverance procedures, Lakeland is required to apply to the conference.

The application will be reviewed and hopefully approved for acceptance into the league for the fall of 2022. The team

will play this season in the Alberta Junior Female Hockey League and will run as a club program under the Rustlers banner for the first year.”

As a component of the agreement the women’s hockey program will have to raise the majority of its operational funding from the community.

“This is a very unique model to fund a college sports program but in discussions with the community group, we are optimistic that the community will support a women’s hockey program,” says Michael Crowe, Lakeland’s vice president, academic and research. “We are so fortunate to have such great communities in Lloydminster and Vermilion that support initiatives like this.”

Recruitment of student-athletes has already began, and there are 14 people currently signed on to wear the Rustlers colours this coming fall.

If you would like to learn more about the sponsorship opportunities you can contact Morgan Mann at 306-307-4411.

character and citizen through the life lessons gained there,” said Mann. He also said, “As a school counsellor, I’m well-versed in the challenges today’s youth face. My best work as a counsellor has been connecting to individuals and helping them become more resilient through sport.”

Lakeland’s athletic director, Alan Rogan stated that adding women’s hockey was the next logical league program.

“When a very motivated group from the community came forward about a year ago, we started to look at the opportunity more seriously,” said Rogan.

In the press release it stated that both groups knew that operating and funding a women’s hockey program at the collegiate level would not be something they could do alone with the current challenges facing the community and provinces, but after numerous meetings both parties believed that by collaborating and utilizing each other’s strengths a women’s

When you go to a craft fair, you are going to see something you are not going to find anywhere else. For those reasons the exhibit hall is one of my favourite stops at the Vermilion Fair each summer. It shows all the creativity and wonderful artists Vermilion has to offer. The hall committee always puts on a good show with great judging and fun categories. Be sure to give this event a visit! We look forward to seeing you there!

Not far from the exhibit hall fairgoers can find another display of creativity in the form of the Trade Show. Many local small

businesses get an opportunity to showcase their products and network with other industry professionals. The fair also attracts vendors from all over Canada due to the large attendance numbers we see each summer. However, organizing a trade show is no small task, organizers, maintenance workers, and staff, all work for months prior to ensure the success of the trade show. Thanks to these workers and volunteers we always have a smoothrunning show with new and exciting things to see! Be sure to stop by and visit both the exhibit hall and the tradeshow at the next Vermilion Fair! And while you’re Jim Storch from Storch Knives participated there be sure to thank the committees in the Tradeshow at the Vermilion Fair with and volunteers for all the hard work, they many of specialty made knives up for sale. do in bringing us a great show each year!

Lloydminster Interval Home Society

Submitted The Lloydminster Inter val Home Society would like to take this opportunity to offer some donation education! We are so grateful to receive hundreds of bags of donations each week and thought you might like to know where your donations go: • Our first priorit y with donated items is to offer them to our current clients and for use within our programs.

• Secondly, we support individuals in community with essential household items and clothing.

• O ur t hir d pr i or it y for d o nate d items is to sell them in the store for profit. It is through these profits that we can fund many of our community ser vices and initiatives that do not have core government funding.

Unfortunately, 30 per cent of the donations we receive are unusable (stained, torn, missing pieces, dirty, broken, etc.) Please double check your donations to ensure they are ready to be used by someone else.

If they are not, we kindly ask you to redirect that item to a recycling facility or garbage dump. We know (and are so grateful) that items are donated to us with the very best of intentions but receiving unusable items hurts us more than it helps us as these items

stretch our resources.

We are also asking donors to sort a n d c ate g o r ize d o n at i o n s b efo r e d r o p p i n g t h e m of f. I te m s c a n b e sorted into the following categories: clothing, housewares, electronics, toys, and footwear. This will make a big difference for our staff and volunteers and allow us to get items to clients, communit y members, and onto the floor faster. As a reminder, our donation hours are 10a.m.-4p.m., seven days a week. We are on-site

during this time and can ensure your donations will be brought inside and used for what you have intended!

Thank you for your understanding, help, and continued support! We could not do the work we do without the support of our amazing community.

PET OF THE WEEK PINKIE, AURORA, AND PENELOPE

HAIL INSURANCE Doug & Colleen Eyben Agents For: Canadian Hail • Palliser • Municipal • Rain & Hail

This Adorable Gerbil Trio came to us as Surrenders. Unfortunately, they could not go with the owners to their new home so it is up to us to find the perfect home that will allow these little cuties to live out their adorable, busy little lives in their burrowing bliss.

Pinky, Aurora, and Penelope are friendly, handleable (big thanks to their very loving previous owners) and, like I said before, BUSY! These three are constantly burrowing and making new tunnels and trails in their kennels, it is basically their life’s mission to burrow as many tunnels as possible. They love to chew up toilet paper or paper towel rolls to create more stuffing to burrow in or to help solidify a tunnel. They are just so fun to watch and to interact with as well.

If you think you have the time and patience and can provide the right home for these guys (basically a lot of wood shavings), then come on down to the SPCA to meet these cuties today!!

Gift Energizes Sustainable Programming And Research

Lakeland College Submitted

(Vermilion, Alta.) Sustainable energy and sustainable agriculture programming and research are growing at Lakeland College, thanks to a $300,000 gift to Leading. Learning. The Lakeland Campaign.

The funding is from a donor who wishes to remain anonymous.

Sustainable energy The gif t will help rebrand Lake land’s renewable energy and conservation program. It launched in 2008 and was Canada’s first online certificate and diploma-level program focused on renewable energy.

“With input from industry, we developed four new courses and renamed our programming. The certificate program is

now sustainable energy and the diploma option is sustainable energy technology,” says Mal Dissanayake, manager of engineering technology and renewable energy at Lakeland College.

“Our sustainable energy programming is poised to play a critical role in today’s economy by preparing workers for careers in the burgeoning sustainable energy sector.”

The majority of courses for the programs will continue to be offered online. The diploma program concludes with an onsite lab at Lakeland’s Research Centre at the Vermilion campus.

The funding will also create bursaries for sustainable energy students. “This generous gift will help us educate the future leaders and innovators in sustain-

13

able energy technologies,” he says.

Another development is the creation of sustainable energy technology microcredentials to help people develop new competencies – an initiative the Government of Alberta is supporting. “This training will be easily accessible to unemployed or under-employed workers,” says Dissanayake.

Sustainable agriculture The gift from the anonymous donor also supports the development of courses and bursaries for Lakeland’s agricultural sustainability diploma program that starts this fall at the Vermilion campus.

“The three pillars of sustainability – economic, environmental and social – can only be accomplished by attracting and training students who are passionate

about agriculture and can think critically and problem solve. We’re so appreciative of this funding which will help us develop these students,” says Geoff Brown, dean of agricultural sciences and environmental sciences at Lakeland College.

A portion of the funding will support sustainable energy and agriculture research initiatives.

Gifts to Leading. Learning. The Lakeland Campaign. ensure the problem solvers, innovators, leaders, and hard workers continue to benefit from the highest quality education, leadership and research opportunities. The campaign concludes June 30. To be part of this historic campaign, visit lakelandcollege.ca/leading-learning or contact Stacey Ruller at stacey.ruller@ lakelandcollege.ca.

We are very happy and excited to be able to hold our 2021 Graduation Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, June 26. It will be outside on the football field like last year and will be a drive-in event.

Congratulations to the students on their reading success this year. The majority of students reached their AR (Accelerated Reader) year end goal early this year. One hundred students

earned the reward to pick a new book for the Learning Commons, sign their name inside the book and be the first to read that new book. On June 25, we will have an AR Celebration for all the students to reward them for their efforts. The last day to take AR quizzes is June 21. All Learning Commons books need to be returned by

June 18. If students continue to do AR quizzes, they will have to use their own books from home or from their classroom library.

The Vermilion Credit Union has been a huge benefit to our school. We thank them for their donation, which is put towards new Accelerated Reader books and rewards for student success. Mrs. MacMillan says, “Have a super summer. Make time to enjoy a great read in a happy, cozy spot. It has been a pleasure watching your children grow in body and mind.”

We are experiencing changes at VES as we look to the next school year. Mrs. Throndson began her maternity leave on May 28, so Mrs. Andrea Cassibo was hired as a short-term replacement. Unfortunately, she was unable to be with us until the end of the school year, so Miss Taylor Heinrich took over our Gr. 2/3 class on June 7 and will be with us until the end of June. Our revenue moving from the current school year to the upcoming school year will be dropping significantly, causing some cuts to our school staff. We will not be hiring a replacement teacher for Mrs. Throndson for next year, which will be a 1.0 fte (full time equivalent) teacher cut to our school. As well, we are not able to keep our Learning Commons Facilitator position, so we are saddened to be saying farewell to Mrs. MacMillan. We are still working on how we will handle the

movement of books within our Learning Commons and will keep you updated as we solve those challenges. Mrs. MacMillan has been at VES for several years and has been a valuable part of our team. She will certainly be missed at VES. As a result of the reduction of 1.0 fte teachers at our school, we will be moving to an additional split class next year. We will have a Grade 2 class, a Grade 2/3 split class and a Grade 3 class. We will also have a Grade 4 class, a Grade 4/5 split class and a Grade 5 class. A split class is really no different than a single grade class, as learning is often an individual process. Research has shown that students in a split class achieve as well or better than a single grade class.

As such, we will be moving Mrs. Tupper to teach the Grade 2/3 class and Mr. Haslehurst to teach the Grade 4/5 class. We will be carefully selecting students for the split classes who we feel can be successful in such a setting, much as we carefully select students for single grade classes. We are confident that students in the split classes will be successful.

Dates to Remember: June 14-18 – Indigenous Activities and Workshops; June 21-25 – Track and Field periodically throughout the days; June 24 – AR Celebration Day; June 29 – Students’ Last Day of School; Sept. 1 – Students’ First Day Back at School.

Spray Park Set To Open Soon

Dawn Riley Reporter

The spray park at Vermilion Provincial Park will be opening again this season.

According to Greg Part, Communications Advisor with Alberta Environment

and Parks, the opening of the popular facility is on schedule, with a start up date of the July long weekend. Although to many this seems later than usual, Part commented that it is the normal start up plan for the spray park every year.

Vermilion Public Library Re-opened The Vermilion Public Library re-opened on June 10.

“On behalf of the Town of Vermilion Library Board I would like to say that we are excited to be re-opening to the public. It was important to the board that we maintain a “Yes We Can” attitude and be positive about providing services to our patrons as long as they fall within the provincial health requirements unless specific concerns are raised by library staff.

County Council Approves Purchase of Fire Apparatus For Dewberry Fire Department

Dawn Riley Reporter

At the May 11 Regular Council meeting of the County of Vermilion River, a motion was carried to replace the Dewberry Fire Department’s Tanker Truck. The council followed the recommendation that a new truck be purchased to replace the twenty four year old GMC TC7H042 truck that was originally acquired from the Vermilion Fire Department.

The need for a new tanker became apparent this spring when the present truck failed to arrive at two emergencies due to mechanical issues. According to the background information given to council members in the May 11 agenda, a third call out in April resulted in

the truck only making it approximately three hundred metres before becoming unusable.

Councillors were informed that ‘It is imperative that the North District stations have the ability to bring large amounts of water to a fire scene in order to aid in extinguishment.

Without a reliable tender/tanker, the North District has only one available tender/tanker (Clandonald) which is insufficient for fire ground operations.’

Protective Services requested that the County approve the purchase of a new tender/tanker fire apparatus from Rocky Mountain Phoenix. Council agreed to the purchase, and voted to access funds from Fire Capital Reserves to cover the approximately $295,000.00 cost of the new vehicle.
